The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Are ya by a TV?.... the Reagan tribute that's been playing to kickoff tonight's convention has been a tear-jerker. A good kind of tear-jerker though.

*snif* Truly one of a kind, he was. We are so fortunate to have been given his leadership.

I only wish I had been old enough to vote for him!

Woot! It works, it's going into an infinite loop! Yay!

Um... I know that sounds wrong but it means my code is sound and I expected it to infinite-loop, I'm doing a depth-first search...

OK, time to go start the fajitas for dinner. Mmmmm!

So do I... I'm glad he was the first President I knew, though.

All right, so I was hoping it would find the solution without infinite-looping, but...

At least it works! Or it will.

Evenin' folks...Corin is having a crappy evening...

I am not making this up. I get to the parking garage this evening and this guy flags me down. He had witnessed from his office building some !@#$!#$^!#$%!@#$%@#$^!#$%!@#$%!$%!@#$!@#$!@#$!@#%!@#%!#$%^!@#$%!@#$!@#%!@#%!@#$%!@#$%!@#$%!@%!@$% piece of ^*@#%^!@#$%!@#%&!#$%!@#$% hit my truck and flippin drive away!

There's not much damage, couple of scratches in the rubber on the bumper, trailer hitch is bent. The jackass broke the tail light out of his Mercedes.

Spent an hour with the Capitol Police. They took all the info, got the pieces of the tail light, have the description of the guy's car and they ~think~ the correct license number. The witness was two stories up and saw it out his window and isn't 100% on the tag. So, they're not sure they'll be able to find the guy/gal.

Vermin like that are in the ring of hell just below people who leave shopping carts in parking lots.

I swear if I see the car in the parking lot, he's gonna need four new tires and a paint job. Then I'll call the police...

Oh Corin.... I bet they will find him. If he was parkin in that garage, I bet he works nearby. You'll find him.

But don't touch the car when you do!

You needed to break in that truck anyhow ;~D Pretend you did it out stumpin'.

Oh man!!! I am so sorry, Corin. That completely and utterly sucks.

Someone hit my truck and left just 3 months after I bought it and I remember how livid I was. I hope they catch that jackas$$.

Chances are, the car will be back.

Gosh, Corin...that's awful!

I saw a VW beetle hit a car once and drive off in the parking lot. I didn't bother trying to get the license plate number...the plate fell off when the driver hit the car.

I won't. But if I see him I DO plan to block him in and call the Capitol Police.

And seriesly, I'd be a lot less upset if the piece of crap had enough spine to admit it.
